Hey, we're #3 Craig! Ain't NC GRANDE! Reading Carole's comment reminds me that we have an area of Charlotte that we call 'Little Long Island' because everyone that moves from LI seems drawn to this one particular area of Charlotte! I know alot move to Raleigh too--obviously!

Carole - When I made the move to the Raleigh area from Long Island a bunch of years ago, I immediately gave myself a $10,000 raise just by changing zip codes! Gas, housing, taxes and car insurance are all considerably less expensive here. Come on down! We've got an open door policy here!

Debe - To quote you Debe, "Ain't NC Grande!" We're fortunate to live in a place where we have all the amenities of a bigger city while still maintaining that small town charm. We have a town here called Cary which has been given the acronym "City of Affluent Retired Yankees" and the "Contained Area of Retired Yankees". That's not a bad thing. It's just all the people from the North who came here, as did I, for a less expensive, better way of life......and found it!
